Mama I Heard You

Mama told me son, Never do this to the one The only one woman But Take time to learn Her heart, her hurt Do not rush son Nothing runs away from the sun It is all here on earth There is a reason for your birth Live your purpose first And raise no fist To the one I pray you find one with a soul as mine With a heart as fine A face, a body and a brain A fully packaged woman Never pluck,pinch,punch her You will lose her It’s up to your ego to get her Talk more with your ears Silent and listen Listen to her That way you reach her Open your eyes to lies But tame her,don’t cane her Remember your sister No one must do that to her No one must pluck,pinch,punch My daughter,if it happens carry the blame,same follows same Never do that to someone’s daughter. Never my son never be your father Not to turn you against him he is your father But be your own, you will find a fault in a woman Maybe her tongue is fierce And her cooking is worse She cannot wash She is clumsy Some say she is dirty Listen to yourself If you love her change her A woman is clay If she goes astray It’s your fault Mould her into what you want Teach her, she can learn She is human have that heart I pray for you my son that you get one. With a face, a body and a brain One fine woman One to teach,one to learn. As you give, you receive my son You will learn to love. So to the woman I want I am well equipped with wisdom from a wise woman One who knows a little bit happiness but more of hurt I want no hurt her heart.her. But love yourself first Beauty but brains first You can only give What you have When you have Same to love The self first Yourself then herself A walk on the road and cool your anger Never your temper A house is peace and happiness Harmless bitterness Priceless,pointless to raise a voice Your hand or a word Anything goes bad Take a walk on the road my son To cool and heal,feel,kneel aside and pray Your wife cannot be your prey Say my son talk to your God Have that heart, Never set your own apart. Stay alert My son. Never.depart.from your own Have no third eye my son You only got two for your woman. Don’t make her leave for another man Your actions my son,your words my son.
